following the ordinance issued by this office on 06.22.2005.


THE FACTS OUTLINED BELOW ARE DRAWN ON CLASSIFIED
RECORDS SUBMITTED BY THE PROSECUTION

1.Notification of criminal conduct

In the month of February 2003, the Egyptian citizen Nasr Osama Muostafa Hassan a.k.a. Abu Omar
was reported missing in Milan, Italy. He had no longer been seen or heard since the morning of
February 17 2003.
th



Abu Omar is an Egyptian citizen who had been granted political asylum by the Italian authorities in
2001 and was under investigation in a separate inquiry for crimes connected with international
terrorism (on this first point see the DIGOS note of 6.21.2005 and attachments, stating that Abu
Omar had been granted political asylum with the legislative measure of 2.22.2001; on the second

2

point see the informative note issued by DIGOS in Milan on 2.11.2002, submitted in the scope of
proceedings n. 5236/02 R.G.N.R.).

[FEB 7, 2003 - WOMAN, REZK MERFAT, OBSERVES ABDUCTION IN MILAN]

It later emerged that Abu Omar had not departed of his own free will, but had been forcibly loaded
into a van by strangers.

Indeed, subsequent to a public plea made by the Imam of the Mosque located in Milan's Viale
Jenner, whom the missing person's wife had appealed for help, it emerged that an Egyptian woman
had confided to a number of women from the same mosque that, on the very morning of 2.17.2003,
she had witnessed the following event: a dark-bearded man of Arab origin, dressed in a tunic, had
been stopped in Via Guerzoni by two men in Western clothing who, after checking his papers,
forced him to get into a white van and drove off immediately at great speed.

The Egyptian woman was identified as Rezk Merfat. She was later interviewed for the first time on
2.26.2003, and confirmed in substance the version given to her friends, except the part relating to
having witnessed the Arab man's forcible entry in the white van, while struggling and crying for
help. The event had taken place in Via Guerzoni in Milan, between 11.30 and 12.00 pm on 2.17.03.

It has never been possible to interview the eyewitness regarding the partial conflict between the
above reconstruction of events and the version acquired from subsequent phone tappings and from
statements made by Abu Omar's wife.
In fact the witness moved back to Egypt straight after the abovementioned deposition before the
Public Prosecutor.

This circumstance was recounted by her husband who, at first, confirmed his wife's account and
added: "It is also true that she left Italy to return to Egypt the day after she was heard by the
magistrate from the District Attorney's office in Milan. She did so out of fear, and also because my
income as a laborer (in the construction business) does not allow me to support my whole family in
Milan. She currently lives in Kaloubia (Egypt) and I go and see her from time to time...."

Rezk Merfat's initial statement, though, were later questioned by the same person whom she had
disclosed the information.

[MERFAT'S FRIEND REPEATS (2 YEARS LATER) MERFAT'S EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY]

HASSANEIN Hayam Abdelmoneim Mohamed, declared on 3.15.2005:
"...I recall fully well what my friend told me. In the late morning of February 17 2003, Merfat was
th

walking home, along via Guerzoni. As she was going, she had noticed a white van with no windows
in the back, and two men of Western appearance standing nearby. As she carried on walking, she
crossed a full-bearded Arab-looking man dressed in a white Jalabia, who was heading towards
Viale Jenner. Moments later she heard a loud noise and the man cry out in Arabic, asking for help.
She turned round quickly, shocked by the commotion, and saw the van drive off at full speed with
no trace of the Arab-looking man; she therefore presumed he had been abducted.
ADR. I do not recall other details on the matter; just that Merfat admitted to me she had already
spoken with her husband of what she had witnessed.(...) I then went to Merfat's home to pick up my
child, and told her of the Imam's announcement at the mosque about Abu Omar's disappearance.
Concerned, Merfat asked me if I had disclosed her story to anyone, but I denied doing so, to spare
her further worry. About a week later I received a call from Merfat who had been summoned by the
police. She was weeping and asked me why I had betrayed her trust; indeed, she was terrified of her
husband's reaction. At that point she confessed she hadn't told the police the whole story, because
her husband forbade her to. I answered that I had done so, because I believed it could help save a
man's life and ­ in an attempt to reassure her ­ I passed the phone to my husband who tried to
explain to her that it was a religious duty to provide information that could reveal who had captured


3

Abu Omar, and that she had nothing to fear. That same evening Merfat's husband came to our
house in Vermezzo, and asked my husband and myself not to disclose to the police all the details
his wife had told me; he added that Merfat had been unforthcoming with the police. (....) Merfat
confessed to me that she had decided to return to Egypt lest anything should happen to her or her
children after what she had witnessed."

[MERFAT'S HUSBAND CLEARS UP DETAILS 2 YEARS LATER]

Summoned again by the Public Prosecutor, SALEM SHAWKI BAKRY, Rezk Merfat's husband,
was challenged with the statements made by HASSANEIN Hayam Abdelmoneim Mohamed, and
gave the following account on 3.18.05, finally revealing the truth and admitting to both his and his
wife's reticent behavior:

"I must indeed make changes to my statement given only a few days ago, but I wish to stress that it
was not my intention to hinder Italian justice, as I was solely concerned for the fear that gripped my
wife as a result of what she had seen.
Well, although I confirm to not having paid great attention to my wife's words on 2.17.03, I admit
to having omitted parts of her account. She truly feared that a similar fate could befall me. It is
especially true that she saw two Western-dressed men attack a bearded Arab, dressed in a white
jalabia, who struggled and cried for help while being violently grabbed and forcibly made to enter a
van. I confirm she was unaware of the Arab's identity, as I did ask her the question. Regarding the
van color, I believe she said it was white or gray, anyhow it was light-colored. I don not recall if she
told me the van windows in the back or not: it may well be she told her friend more details than
what she told me.
Anyhow, she had seen the man being loaded, despite his opposition, into the van that took off with
two men on board. I do not know if the driver was a third man, as my wife did not specify this.(...)"

Gaps in the eyewitness account had already emerged subsequent to several phone tappings.

[U.S. DIPLOMATS SABRINA DE SOUZA, RALPH RUSSOMANDO LIE TO POLICE, SAYING
VICTIM JUST MOVED OUT]

No significant progress was made in the investigation for over one year after the abduction. Indeed,
investigators had almost disregarded the matter after a communication forwarded in March 2003 by
"American authorities" to the Direzione Centrale della Polizia di Prevenzione in Rome, stating that
Abu Omar had relocated to an unknown Balkan location. Addressed by the above Direzione
Centrale, the US authorities stressed the presumptive nature of the news, to which no further detail
was provided. The statement made to the Italian authorities would later be proven to be utterly
groundless.
In fact, within the framework of investigations relating to Islamic terrorist activities, a number of
conversations were tapped in April 2004 between Abu Omar, his wife Ghali Nabila and Elbadry
Mohamed Reda, wherein the former stated that he was in Egypt (he had been deprived of his papers
and was forced to live there), and that he had been abducted, taken to a US base, and from there
flown to Egypt, where he had been detained until then, and subjected to serious torture.

[JUSTIFICATION OF WIRETAPPING BY POLICE]

The existence of such conversations in the records of the wire tappings constitute an important
corroboration to the statements made by the abducted man's wife and by Elbadry Mohamed Reda,
as below

It must be stressed at this stage that wire tapping in this proceedings may only be used as a notitia
criminis (therefore amounting to a formal complaint).
Furthermore, the contents of such tappings (lawfully permitted and protracted by the competent
magistrate, through a formal filing of the relevant warrant and extension, for the purposes of the
present proceedings) will be analytically reported below. In this instance it is merely necessary to
emphasize that, though allowed in the context of separate actions, they may certainly be used in this
instance, if anything as the starting point for further investigations.
On this subject, case law is utterly consistent in maintaining that "for the purposes of Art.270 Code
of Criminal Procedure, on the legal use of data arising from wire-tapping in instances other than the
one for which it was sanctioned, the use must be understood as evaluation of the said data as
sources of evidence. To this effect, therefore, such tappings can lawfully provide information
relating to additional offences, and may be used as a starting point for the ensuing inquiries and
probative acquirements, unconstrained from the limits laid down in Art. 270 of the above code"

[ABU OMAR'S WIFE REPORTS WHAT HE TOLD OF HIS TREATMENT]

2. Witness statements (de relato) re the kidnapping ­ First description of the offence ­ Account of
the abductors' escape on a white van and statements as to their subsequent aircraft boarding.

Abu Omar's wife, Ghali Nabila, was later heard again, and she declared the following:

"... my husband disappeared from Milan last February 17 and I had no news for about one year. ...
th

Suddenly on April 20 this year, I received a phone call from my husband to my Milan home... (...)
th

... he told me he had been kidnapped in Milan, in a street I can't recall now ­ but I mentioned the
name in my previous statement ­ and that some people had captured him with violence and taken
him away in a white van... a woman, according to my husband, had witnessed the event.
My husband... told me he hadn't been kidnapped by Egyptians, although he didn't know who
had...moreover, he neither told me how many people took part in the action, nor what nationality he
thought they were.
After a few hours, maybe after one night, he was put on a plane and flown straight to Egypt, where
he remained continuously detained until April 20 2004.. he had always been kept blindfolded
th

during the kidnapping and hadn't even been able to make out the abductors' language, as they had
always remained silent.. I have learnt some news also in conversations with my husband's sister.. he
was certainly flown to Egypt with a military aircraft, surely not a civilian plane.
(...)... he told me he had always been detained, and subject to awful torture... all kinds of torture..
because the Egyptians wanted information from him that he was unable to give.. he added that he
was made to sign a statement after the torture where he declared he had turned himself in to the
Egyptian authorities of his own free will...
According to my husband, at first the Egyptians were astounded at having him there with them; this
fueled my husband's belief that he had not been kidnapped by Egyptians.. once freed, the Egyptian
authorities told him he could go back to his work in Egypt, open up a store or even take up studying
again, but he had to stay away from spreading any kind of Islamic propaganda. Some of the details I
am recounting have also been learnt by my sister-in-law... I cannot provide precise information as
to the traumas he endured.. I heard about the torture from his kin... at any rate, he said he had lost
about 20 kilos as a result of the detention.. I do not believe my husband was able to provide any of
the information they were after.. they merely ordered him to quit his propaganda activities..
(...) .On April 19 2004, an Egyptian official whose name I do not know called my husband's home
th

in Alexandria and, speaking with his brother Hisham, told him he could fetch my husband from a
certain police station in the city.. on 20 th my brother-in-law fetched him and took him home
immediately.. in fact, the first call I got from my husband was made on April 20 a few minutes
th

after getting home...

Since he was freed and then disappeared again...around may 13/15 ..my husband had always

stayed in Alexandria...he told me the Egyptian authorities called him from time to time.. after
asking a few questions and never keeping him more than a couple of hours, they let him go home...

[15 JUN 2004: MOSQUE OFFICIAL REDA GIVES MOST COMPLETE DESCRIPTION YET OF
ABDUCTION, IMPRISONMENT OF ABU OMAR ]

The same circumstances were described to operators by Elbadry Mohamed Reda, who provided
further details, recorded in the statement on June 15 2004:

Abu Omar had called his wife from Egypt, telling her he had been detained and then freed after
over a year.. his wife spread the news throughout the community, and contacted me a short time
later, saying that her husband wanted to talk to me and that I should call him.. she gave me the
number of the Abu Omar's family house in Alexandria, Egypt, where I called him.
During that conversation.. it took place 3/4 days after his release... we merely exchanged greetings..
it was quite a call.. Abu Omar said that he would tell me about important matters in a subsequent
call... he feared his family's telephone was tapped.. he said he would give me a mobile phone
number where I could reach him... Some days went by.. Abu Omar's wife gave me his Egyptian
mobile number and I called him on May 7 2004.. from a call center in Viale Jenner... during the

conversation.. Abu Omar told me what had happened.. On February 17 2003 he had left home

around midday to go and pray in the V.le Jenner mosque.. he had noticed a white van with two
people close to his doorway.. he didn't suspect anything.. he made his way on foot to the mosque

and as he got closer he noticed again the parked, white van; it had clearly driven round the block the
other way as it could not have followed him due to the one way system...

The same two people he had noticed before approached him, and one asked him his papers in Italian
..he presented his passport, which testifies to his asylum holder status... the two men were sure of
his identity.. At that point one of them sprayed something on his nose and mouth... and they pushed
him into the van... Abu Omar just about noticed that an Arab women with two children was
witnessing the scene.. Inside the vehicle the two men sealed his mouth with tape.. Abu Omar did
not lose consciousness and came to immediately.

Speaking perfect Italian the two men told Abu Omar to keep quiet and remain still, otherwise he
would be dead.. the windows had tinted glass in the back so Abu Omar was unable to see where the
vehicle was going and the itinerary followed. Thanks to his watch, he was able to ascertain that he
had traveled by car with the two men for about 5 hours..

He told me that he had kept the sticky tape on his mouth for the whole time, and the men had
removed it only once their destination had been reached.. The two abductors handed Abu Omar to
other people inside a military base that he believed to be American, judging from the US military
aircraft.. with the US flag on them... He gave me no other clue as to what base it was.. he didn't say
whether the captors were Italian.. just that they spoke Italian.

The two men departed and left him with a group of English- and Italian-speaking people.. who
availed themselves of an Arab interpreter. The Italian and English speakers.. whom Abu Omar
believed to be Americans.. asked him questions repeatedly, accompanied with outbursts of violence,
on three specific issues... on his dealings with Al Quaeda...on his activities related with the war in
Iraq, asking him if he was sending volunteers to fight the US in those areas... and on his
relationship with Albanian Islamic groups... He told me he had been beaten.. tortured.. questioned..

At dawn he was loaded onto a US military aircraft and traveled for just under one hour... he told
me that, due to the short trip and to the size of the city, which he had seen from the window... he
thought he had been taken to a Rome airport.. The aircraft had stationed in a restricted area inside
this huge airport, probably military.. Abu Omar was taken off the plane.. got on to another US
military plane.. and took off again immediately..

They were US aircraft.. the second plane landed at
a US base in the Red Sea in Egypt... Abu Omar saw other planes with US flags... From this base..
he was flown to a Cairo airport, this time Egyptian and military... he was blindfolded and taken by
car, with Egyptians on board, to a secret service building in Cairo.. an office inside a well-known
government building in Cairo, I also happen to know its location, in a neighborhood known as
LADOGHLJ...
He had to meet an important personality.. the Egyptian Home Secretary HABIB AL
ADLY.... In fact the minister... basically told him that if he agreed to work as an infiltrator for the
Egyptian secret service, he would be home in 48 hours... otherwise he would have to bear full
responsibility for his refusal.. Abu Omar refused.. he was forthwith taken to other Cairo premises,
also managed by the secret service, where he stayed continually until his release on April 20th

2004.. He was subjected to serious torture.. the first measure was to leave him in a room where
incredibly loud and unbearable noise was made.. he has experienced damage to his hearing.. The
second kind of torture was to place him in a sauna at tremendous temperature and straight after to
put him in a cold storeroom.. occasioning terrible pain to his bones.. as if they were cracking.. The
third was to hang him upside down.. and apply live wires to the sensitive parts of the body
including his genitals.. and producing electric shocks.. he has suffered damage to his motory and
urinary systems.. he became incontinent.. They tortured him accusing him of being an Al Quaeda
terrorist and a militant against the Egyptian regime.. they wanted to wrest information from him that
he was unable to give.. they told him to consider himself, along with myself, Abu Imad (i.e. the
imam of V.le Jenner) and Abu Saleh as terrorists ... and that sooner or later the same fate would
befall the three of us.. they would catch us as soon as possible.. they said they had agreements with
the Italian authorities... that could easily ensure our capture.. If we didn't turn ourselves in
voluntarily.. they would kidnap us...

He told me the torture had been particularly ferocious for the first seven months in detention.. it had
then diminished.. except whenever questions were asked about his role and his alleged
involvement.. in the final stage of detention.. he underwent medical treatment.. also after his
release.. He told me that he had been summoned one day by one of the superintendents of the secret
service, who said that if he wanted to get out alive from that jail, he would have to declare he had
left Italy for Egypt voluntarily, in order to clear his position.. he would have to keep quiet on
everything else.. from the abduction to the torture.. they told him they would find out about any
violation of the rules since everything was "under surveillance" also with the backing of the
Egyptian judiciary.. if he rejected this proposal.. he would not leave the prison alive.. Before
making a decision Abu Omar consulted other inmates.. who told him nobody gets out alive from
that jail.. so they told him to accept.. So he did.. he was taken to an office in Alexandria.. he brother
was told to fetch him there.. upon release Abu Omar was deprived of his papers.. and he was
ordered not to disclose anything to anyone neither in Italy, nor Egypt, and certainly not to the press..
Abu Omar "breached" the agreement.. and for fear of being arrested again, he asked me not to
divulge the information I had given him.. I had no other direct communication with Abu Omar aside
from that first time and on May 7 .. for all other matters, I just got news from his wife.."

[END OF MOSQUE OFFICIAL REDA'S STATEMENT]

We later shall dwell upon the extent to which Elbadry Mohamed Reda and his account are
trustworthy .

Thanks to Ghali Nabila, who had meanwhile gone to her husband's family in Egypt, it was
ascertained that Omar had been detained in a Cairo prison since May 12 2004, thence transferred
th

to an Alexandria jail, and then back to Cairo around 2.20.2005, where the mistreatment seems to
have resumed.
Ghali Nabila states to have last seen her husband on 02.21.2005 at the prison near Alexandria, and
on such occasion he had told her that, due to the widespread and detailed news of his abduction in
the press (first in the Italian daily "La Repubblica", with the contents of the article taken up and
circulating widely in the Egyptian press), he was once more being subjected to physical harm, to the
extent that he went on a hunger strike. Upon reaching Alexandria jail on 2.24.2005 to visit her
husband, Ghali was informed of his transfer to Cairo.
Nobody has heard of Abu Omar since then.

[WIFE, BYSTANDER, MOSQUE OFFICIAL (REDA) ACCOUNT PROVE ABU OMAR WAS KIDNAPPED
BY TWO WHITE MEN WHO DROVE HIM TO THE U.S. AIR BASE.

ONE OF THE TWO GRAB MEN LIKELY WAS ITALIALIAN POLICEMAN LUCIANO PIRONI]

Though de relato, yet fully exploitable for the purposes of Art.195 of the above code, the
circumstances revealed by Ghali Nabila and Elbadry Mohamed Reda especially, in addition to the
account given by the eyewitness Rezk Merfat, are of fundamental importance, allowing us to
confirm without doubt that, sometime between 11.30 and noon on February 17 th 2003 in Via
Guerzoni, Milan, Abu Omar was approached by two Caucasian, Italian-speaking men, who
apprehended him and forcibly dragged him into a white van (Abu Omar struggled and cried for help
throughout).

[PROSECUTOR SAYS CAPTURE OF ABU OMAR WAS OUTSIDE THE LAW]

3. The absence of either national or international documentation certifying custodial measures

The question arose as to whether the withholding of personal freedom, as described above, might in
fact have flowed from a lawful warrant for the man's arrest.

The competent DIGOS Bureaus ascertained the utter inexistence, also at an international level, of
any warrants providing for Abu Omar's tracking or arrest.

Investigations have been directed towards establishing Abu Omar's presence in Egypt, in order to
ascertain, by means of a formal request of judicial assistance forwarded on 08.30.2004, if the man:


8

· Was present on Egyptian soil and, if so, was he free or detained;
· Had been detained in Egypt in the time ranging from 02.17.2003 and 08.30.2004;
· Had entered Egyptian territory in any way and at any time.
Also, a request was made to Egyptian authorities to interrogate (the questioning could even be
carried out by Egyptian authorities and Italian officials) ABU OMAR (allegedly detained in Egypt,
going by his wife's statement) as well as his close family, and to learn the names of the owners and
holders of the landline number 002034963879, along with the mobile numbers. 0020127619802
and. 0020123347735, most likely used by NASR Osama Moustafa Hassan (alias ABU OMAR).

Despite the full and effective collaboration of the Italian Justice Ministry, the above request for
judicial assistance has yielded no reply as of yet from the competent foreign authority.

Anyhow, it remains a proven fact that Abu Omar did not leave Via Guerzoni voluntarily as a result
of lawfully issued constraint measures but, instead, he was deprived of his personal freedom and
abducted by force: consequently, the material element for the offence of kidnapping is existent.

[PROSECUTOR CITES VIOLATION OF SOVEREIGNTY OF THE ONCE-PROUD ITALIAN STATE,
NOW ANOTHER SATELLITE OF THE UNITED STATES.]

4. The relevance of the lack of any documentation certifying custodial measures, as of the
absence of any communication to Italian authorities

It must be stressed that the incident is made much more serious due to a range of factors that
transcend the mere crime of kidnapping.
Firstly, the fact that the subject enjoyed refugee status in Italy, and that such status had been granted
by the same Italian authorities, has entailed that a refugee's willful abduction from the protection
and shelter afforded by the host State ­ in absence of any provisions issued by the latter and clearly
against the will of the former - amounts to a most serious assault against the authority of the Italian
State and of international treaties on such matters.
Secondly, we are confronted with the fact that the operation was conducted by foreign citizens ­ as
we shall examine later ­ for the purpose of securing a detention abroad in such a manner that no
Italian authority was made privy to the fact, and in the absence of any document certifying custodial
measures, or in any way sanctioning a limitation of personal freedom.
Thirdly, the fact that the person involved was under investigation by Italian authorities, and his
consequent disappearance constituted an objective hindrance to the Judicial Authority's ability to
effectively ascertain the facts.

[PROSECUTOR SAYS POLICE USED COMPUTER RECORDS OF CELL-PHONE COMPANIES TO IDENTIFY
CIA KIDNAPPERS AND U.S. AIR FORCE AS ACCOMPLICE]

5. Corroboration of the account of the abduction, and the specific technical investigation that
lead to the identification of those involved in the abduction

As mentioned before, based on the accounts given by Abu Omar to his wife and to Elbadry
Mohamed Reda, and reported by the two, Abu Omar was later transferred ­ after a journey of
several hours, perhaps one night according to the wife, and of about five hours according to Reda
­ to a military airbase ­ allegedly American ­ whence he was placed onto an aircraft.

Following the inquiries made by DIGOS, it ensues that the only base fitting the description is the
USAF airbase at Aviano.

[SOME CELL PHONES WERE PRESENT AT BOTH CRIME SCENE AND
ALONG KIDNAPPERS' ROUTE TO AVIANO USAF BASE.]

In an effort to further their investigation, operators sought to establish whether there had been
transfers from the abduction scene to Aviano airbase, starting from the fact, as recounted by the
eyewitness, that one of the persons who approached Abu Omar had been talking on the phone.



9

It was possible to establish this point by examining the communication exchange between mobile
phones that took place within the radio cells covering the abduction scene and its immediate
vicinity, thereafter ascertaining whether any of them had subsequently headed for Aviano airbase.

[GROUP OF PHONES ("FIRST GROUP") AT CRIME SCENE MADE 62 CALLS]

This activity ­ later analytically reported below ­ enabled the identification of a set of SIM cards
that were operating on the crime scene, and mutually interactive, amounting to a total of 62 calls of
very short length, and reaching their highpoint at the moment of Abu Omar's disappearance.

As a result of this verification, it has been possible to distinguish two sets of telephone subscribers:
the first was present on the scene of the abduction; it headed towards Cormano, and there met up
with the members of the second one.

[NINE CIAs ("SECOND GROUP") ESCORTED THE KIDNAPPERS, VICTIM TO USAF BASE -- CALLED COL. ROMANO'S PHONE]

Straight after the abduction, nine people belonging to the
second group (four of whom have been identified: Carrera Lorenzo, Logan Cynthia Dame,
Channing Drew Carlyle e Vasiliou Michailis) left the area and picked up the radio cells situated
along the stretch of motorway Milan -Aviano. During the journey some subscribers made calls to
mobiles used by officers stationed at the said airbase. After about five hours all the subscribers
picked up the radio cells surrounding the USAF airbase in Aviano.

As stated above, one of the nine subscribers (334/176579), whose identity was impossible to
establish but will be henceforth referred to as ALFA, after having picked up the cell located in Via
Gramsci in Cormano at 12.35 pm, took the eastbound A4 motorway. Along the way, he made
contact for three times (between 14.44 and 16.42 on 02.17.2003) with a mobile phone, which turned
out to be registered with the 31^ Contracting Squadron (USAF Base ­ Aviano), and its user was
proven to be Colonel Joseph L. III Romano, then head of security at Aviano airbase.

["BETA' WAS ONE OF THREE ACTUAL "GRAB" MEN (PIRONI?). WENT FROM RENDEZVOUS
POINT CORMANO TO CRIME SCENE ("FIRST GROUP"),

BACK TO CORMANO ON WAY TO AIR BASE WITH TRANSPORT CREW ("SECOND GROUP")]

Another of these nine subscribers (334/3101143), whose identity was impossible to establish but
will be henceforth referred to as BETA, picked up on the day of the abduction all the cells in the
area around Via Guerzoni and the Cormano motorway entrance, in a time spanning 11.15am and
12.41, at which time he picked up the cell in Via Gramsci, Cormano, accessing the A4 motorway,
and was "followed" all the way to Aviano.

Notably, the user of the 334/3101143 subscription (BETA), was located around Cormano about two
hours before the abduction and there met a member of the said second group; he then approached
the Viale Jenner area (where the kidnapping occurred), made contact with the "first group", then
headed back to Cormano together with the "first group", and joined the "second group"; from there
he headed toward Aviano with the "second group" users.

[BETA'S TRACKS CONFIRM KIDNAPPING DESCRIPTION VICTIM LATER GAVE TO FRIEND REDA]

The utterly amazing aspect stemming from the technical data gathered, is that the factual
description made by the victim and passed on to Elbadry Mohamed Reda faithfully matches
BETA's movements. This individual indeed approached the area where the victim was living and
picked up the TIM mobile phone signal repeater in Via Litta Modignani at 11:21:16. As he moved
closer, he picked up the repeater in Via Butti 9 at 11:39:51.

The latter TIM signal repeater caters for the area facing both the victim's house and the mosque.

In order to pick up the above signal without picking up the TIM repeater in Via Imbriani 40 first,
BETA's vehicle must necessarily have followed the road adjacent to the victim's house.

By so doing, the one-way system obliged him to take Via Cesare Brivio (otherwise he would have
picked up the repeater in Via Imbriani 40, being sent off track by the one-way system).




10

The actual transit along Via Cesare Brivio constitutes the first surprising corroboration of the
account given by Elbadry Mohamed Reda: this street is an unavoidable section of the route taken by
the victim on his way to the mosque, and also by BETA's vehicle as it approached the signal
repeater.

Time is another surprisingly matching element in the story recounted by Elbadry Mohamed Reda
and BETA's route. BETA stayed hooked to the repeater in Via Butti 9 from 11.39.51 to 11.46.32.
The place of the abduction is about 500 meters away from the junction between Via Conte Verde
and Via Guerzoni. It takes about 6 minutes to walk, whereas it only takes about one and a half
minutes to drive.

Also, according to the story recounted by Elbadry Mohamed Reda, the abductors' van crossed the
victim outside his home, and later on the crime scene, where the vehicle had arrived by taking a
different route from the victim on foot. This is corroborated by the examining a map of the area.
After the sighting, whereas the victim could have headed straight for Via Guerzoni, the van would
have had to drive round the block since Via Guerzoni is a one-way street from Viale Jenner to Via
Davanzati. Even this detail matches BETA's movements in full, as "witnessed" by the mobile
phone.
The time of all these movements is perfectly compatible with the time of the abduction. This
occurred between 11.30 and 12.00 on 02.17.2003. BETA was present in those location at the exact
same time.

[MR. REDA'S STORY AND TECH DETAILS CONFIRM WOMAN EYEWITNESS TO KIDNAPPING.]

Furthermore, the story recounted by Elbadry Mohamed Reda ­ with reference to the circumstances
surrounding the movements ­ was corroborated by the eyewitness statement.

She maintains, in fact, that the incident took place near the Purple Cross (in Via Guerzoni 34).
Such detail is not only compatible with BETA's established position, but it also matches the forced
route taken by the van so as to catch up with the victim.
Indeed, when going round the block to get back to Via Guerzoni from Via Conte Verde, the
abductors' van would have necessarily had to drive down Via Carlo Cafiero, actually leading up to
the Purple Cross, which the van would have to drive past as Via Guerzoni is a one-way street.

It must be inferred that the "suspicious" movements recorded match Elbadry Mohamed Reda's
story too greatly to be coincidental.

After all, Elbadry was not and could not be aware of the results yielded by screening the cell
communication exchange.

According to further verifications made possible by the albeit partial testimony of the woman who
witnessed the crime, it ensues that Elbadry Mohamed Reda statement is completely truthful, even
though it pertains to reported events.

As mentioned before, others telephone subscription users - established as being on the scenes -
traveled contextually with BETA.

The subsequent moves take BETA back to Cormano, where along with the other telephone
subscription users he heads towards Aviano.

During the journey towards the US military base in Aviano, those users of "suspect" telephones
whose identity has been established contacted a number of individuals inside actual airbase.

The evident examination of registration holders, movements, and telephone communication
exchange of all the above subscribers has yielded surprising results.


11

It become apparent that a great deal of subscribed numbers were registered to names that did not
match those of the actual users; many numbers in fact were never matched to a user name. The
remaining ones have been established as being used by US citizens.

Practically all the "suspicious" subscribed numbers share a further range of common features.

In particular:
· As said before, the users of the relevant subscribed numbers, located within the same cell
therefore at a short distance from one another, exchanged numerous calls on 02.17.2003;
almost all of them were very brief, and adding up to a total of 62 .
· The frequency of the calls intensified around the time coinciding with Abu Omar's
disappearance.
· All the SIM cards operated by TIM had been activated/sold between November 2002 and
January 2003.
· Virtually all the subscribed numbers stopped functioning in Italy immediately after the
abduction, mostly between February 18 and 20 2003.
th th

· The vast majority of these SIM cards were registered to subscribers, in whose name at least
other ten subscribed numbers had been registered; most of them had been assigned to
"fronts" (the names were often identical: 6 numbers were in the name of a Timofte Mihai, a
Rumanian citizen unconnected with the incident, and 3 to a company known as "Riva
Beniamino snc"); at any rate, for virtually all the subscribed numbers it had not been
possible to identify the actual user from the outset..
· As explained below, the sole exception to the above rule is the Vodafone number registered
in the name of a US citizen, Adler Monica Courtney, whose identity has actually been
confirmed as authentic.
· One of the two mobile numbers present in via Guerzoni at the time of the kidnapping
(3397946739), after having arrived in Aviano went straight back to Milan;
· BETA (3343101143), instead, arrived in Aviano and returned to Milan in the early hours of
the following morning;
·

[CELL PHONES WITH FAKE USER NAMES DID SURVEILLANCE DAYS BEFORE 17/02/2003
(17 FEB 2003)]

As a result of the close scrutiny to which the communication exchange among the examined
subscribed numbers (over 40 in total) were subject, some of which registered to US citizens,
it has emerged that, even days before the incident, virtually all the users of the numbers had
been present on the route that Abu Omar habitually followed from his house to the Viale
Jenner mosque; this technical point provides added confirmation to their direct involvement
in planning the crime, since to all intents and purposes the preparatory activities entailed on
the spot investigation and careful observation of the victim's movements.

The tables below demonstrates how frequently the users of suspect numbers were present in the
days prior to the abduction (the numbers that were then traced as subsequently traveling to Aviano
are highlighted) .
